Should 6th Grade Be Placed In Elementary or Middle School?
By: Wiktoria Kaciak #16

Ding! The bell goes off. You, as the youngest student on campus, stand there in the middle of the hallway, watching as all of the older students rush to class. Then, all of a sudden, you get in trouble for being late to class. You try to explain to the teacher that everyone was running past you and you did not know where to go. However, she says you are in middle school and this is no excuse. Are YOU mentally prepared for this now in 6th grade?

Over the past few years, there has been a debate whether or not 6th grade should stay at elementary school or be moved to middle school. Some say, in junior high students will be taught by experts specializing in the subjects they are …show more content…

A few say, that at intermediate school, teachers and administrators require students to buy extra products for the new year. Some of these supplies may get quite pricy and a lot of families may not afford all of these items. This lack of money unfortunately results in some students to get teased and bullied. They often get called names because of how they might have to use an old backpack from their brother or sister, or having to use used and worn down school materials. In elementary school though, parents and their children may not have to buy extra materials for the new year as much of what they need, they already possess at home.
In conclusion, 6th graders should stay in elementary school because of numerous social and emotional reasons as well as financial and educational difficulties they may face at a new school. These include: teasing/ bullying, negative outcomes in the future, and anxiety/ depression. In the end, if students stay at elementary school they can personalize their education, have a better idea of what they still need to learn, and interact with younger

Governor Orval Faubus supported the protestors and ordered the Arkansas National Guard to block off the children. On September 4, 1957, the soldiers stood in front of Little Rock Central High School, and blockaded the entire entrance. This made national headlines, and ultimately shocked the entire nation to its feet. With a furious crowd surrounding the nine students, Elizabeth Eckford said: They moved closer and closer. ...

Many students would stop their schooling and education after the eighth grade so the students could begin to help out their parents by beginning to work and providing for the family: “For many, education ended after just eighth grade; in order to graduate, students would have to pass a final exam” (McCarthy). This style of teaching doesn’t do the best justice for the students. Within such a short period of time students had trouble being able to retain a lot of what they had learned, and also never reach their full learning potential and expanding their

As we asked variety of age groups similar questions about the eighth grade schedules they have access to, the following comments were gathered: We asked an eighth grade student, Fiadora Gucciardo, “How do you like the eight class schedule?” Her response was, “I don 't like the eighth grade schedule.

Should all high schools in America be replaced by early college high schools? Why there are good reasons for students to go to early college high school, they are not always good reasons. Not all students would excel at early college high schools, school boards would be paying more money, and more students would be more likely to drop out. Early college high schools should be for those students who work hard to achieve the accomplishment of earning an associate degree. Many students joke around and could care less about their education, but at an early college, it is imperative that students care about their school work.

Some of the older kids are always using false language and if an elementary schooler heard a word and they didn’t know what it meant then they might go home and say it to one of their siblings or their parents. There are some middle or high schoolers that are “ BF ,GF “and they want to sit next to each other but they can’t because of their siblings or cousins that want to sit by them. Sometimes kids don’t want to say no their family so they end up sitting next to them instead. School busses should separate the different school because kids have different hygiene ideas. Some kids don’t shower when they are in elementary school.

In my opinion, students in elementary school advancing to the next grade even though they have not successfully completed the lower grade, is not right. In my mind children, that fail should be required to learn the curriculum that all of the others did. It is not right for the child that failed to move on when all the other students have worked hard to get good grades so that they can move on and advance to the next grade. Keeping a child back will teach him/her some responsibility to work harder.

I think if a kid needs to be held back it is better to be done in kindergarten. In fact, if he/she gets held back it would give him/her time to mature more. Next, it would help him/her get into the routine of school and let them grow stronger in the bases of learning. If he/she gets held back in kindergarten rather than later, no long-term friendships would have been created yet.

Sleep is vital for children and helps improve their attentiveness in class. Kids’ academic scores decide what education they will receive and how they will perform in the future. Also the health of a child at a young age will determine if they will be healthy when they grow older. I believe schools should start later in the day because it gives kids more time to sleep, helps adolescents perform academically better, and can improve a youth’s health. Now do you think schools should start later?

Year 7 shouldn’t be the first year of high school because year 7s might not be confident to be in high school. Its better to wait another year so that they can get more confedent and they might not be ready to be in high school with all the older kids. They might not be able to do the work that has been set for and the school would have to make the work easier for year 7s and they shouldn’t have to do that just for one year. Year 7s might get scared or bullied in high school. If you send your kid to high school in year 7 they might be scared to be around the year 12s and other year levels, it wouldn’t be a fair to send a year 7 to school because they wouldn’t feel confedent about themselves because they would be the youngest, in high school they are youngest but if they were still in primary

We all realize that learning problems do not develop suddenly. Research shows there is a positive correlation between the age at which intervention occurs and the level of success which can be expected as a result of the intervention. This suggests that it is at the early elementary school level that organized and systematic intervention prepares children for the more formal and demanding structure of later grades. Other than that, parents should be deeply involved in their children education plan.
